the most common errors are:

Omitting grammatical morphemes, which are items that do not


contribute much to the meaning of sentences, as in He hit car.
Double marking: a semantic feature (e.g. past tense) when only one
marker is required, as in She didnt went back.
* Regularizing rules, as in womans for women.
* Using archiforms: one from in place of several, such as the use of her
for both she and her, as in I see her yesterday. Her dance with my

brother.

* Using two or more forms in random alternation even though the


language requires the use of each only under certain conditions, as in
the random use of he and she regardless of the gender of the person
of interest.
* Misordering items in constructions that require a reversal of wordorder rules that had been previously acquired, as in what you are
doing?,
or misplacing items that may be correctly placed in more than one
place in the sentence, as in They are all the time late.
